A prerequisite for using Auto Confirm at your marina is that you have set up at least one Space Group. Space Groups are categories of available dockage at your marina, defined by things like maximum LOA and whether its a slip or mooring.
Even if your dockage is fairly uniform, you’ll want to set up one Space Group that represents your marina’s inventory, as these groups will enable Auto Confirm to tell whether there is space at your marina for a particular vessel.
Using that knowledge of available space, Dockwa can instantly confirm a reservation for you or prevent boaters from requesting dockage in the first place. (Spaces, however, are not a prerequisite for Auto Confirm). Click here to learn how to set up Space Groups.
Now, decide how much dockage should be instantly bookable.
Once you have at least one Space Group set up, click the “Edit” button on the Space Group. In this popup, you will see a field titled “Automatic Confirmations.” Enter here the units of dockage you wish to automatically confirm for any given day. This number should be equal to or less than the number you entered into the Total Inventory field.
An example.
If you have a field of 50 moorings and you wish to allow 40 of your moorings to be automatically confirmed each day, write “50” in the “Total Inventory” field, and “40” in the “Automatic Confirmations” field. Once 40 dockage requests are automatically confirmed for say, July 3rd of this year, you will need to manually confirm any additional dockage requested for July 3rd.
